Six months ago Karen Owen stunned our society when she boldly exposed the gentlemen company she kept in college- and got no love in return.
What once began as an inside joke, meant only for the eyes of a few friends, quickly escalated into a very public and humiliating episode. And the vehicle for this showcase of sexual partners: a PowerPoint presentation.
In the aftermath of this ill-fated limelight, the world blasted Owen wide open. As for me, I’m going to have to side with New York Times Best Selling Author, Tucker Max, who said everyone should just lay off. When Owen composed these PowerPoint slides as a mock thesis, she wasn’t aiming for a moment in the spotlight. And where is she now? Has anyone heard from her? Did she make any comments regarding the publicity or the rather embarrassing episode?
The answer to these questions: No.
Owen didn’t ask for this, she simply did what all of us girls do - compare notes. We divulge our embarrassingly painful relationship and sexual encounters to our friends looking for everything from support and laughter to a good hard cry. What would you do if your friends publically revealed your experiences with the opposite sex? Well, you sure as hell would seek out better friends; but come on, give the girl a break.
So I created my own list, my readers know because I posted a little preview roughly 3 weeks ago. In trying to stay as true to Owen’s formula as I possibly could I have written mine in a similar PowerPoint fashion, bullet points and all. While this will ultimately launch on Creative Loafing’s website under the Love, Brittney blog there are a few guys that didn’t quite make the cut – but I wouldn’t want to leave them out.
You see, where my list differs from Owen’s is in the content. My “Date List” is Karen Owen’s story re-done sans sex scandal and body fluids -- because who are we kidding, sex is the given. It’s the game of relationships that makes or breaks you. And so, this is the story of a college graduate who dated an assortment of guys. The lessons and experiences have been documented, naturally. Below is a sneak peak at three ex-boyfriends who didn’t make their way into the final cut, just when they thought they were off the hook… Meet:
